Hi Gavin, |
| 12 |
you dont need to rerun grub-install once grub is installed properly. Altering |
| 13 |
grub.conf is sufficient. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Did grub boot, but couldn't find the kernel? (It jumps back to the menu in |
| 16 |
that case) Then you might need to check the path to your kernel in grub.conf. |
| 17 |
Note the different naming sceme that grub uses for harddrives (hda1 = hd0,0, |
| 18 |
still the kernel=... line needs to be in normal linux syntax, eg. hda1) |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Another error preventing proper boot is a faulty /etc/fstab. |
| 21 |
Besides of the entry in fstab, you dont need to worry about /proc, afaik. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Good luck! |
